Is this card worth it?

This card is one of our top-ranked options in terms of rewards, especially if you are a Rogers, Fido, or Shaw customer. With those services, you can effectively get a 3% cashback rate, which is a higher rate than almost any other card offers, even those with annual fees! If you have a high income of $80K or a household income of $150K, you can apply for the World Elite version of this card, which comes with additional insurance and benefits like a lounge pass.

Is this card worth it?

The Scotiabank Momentum Visa is a low annual fee cash back card that offers impressive earn rates on a variety of everyday spending categories, making it an excellent choice for those who want to maximize rewards without the higher cost of its Visa Infinite counterpart.

Pros

Voted as the Best Cash Back Card in Canada for Rogers, Fido and Shaw Customers by FinlyWealth.
There is no annual fee, a notable perk for a card with such high reward multipliers. Most cards with slightly lower reward rates typically have annual fees.
Offers the flexibility to redeem cash towards Rogers, Shaw, or Fido services, potentially increasing the value of your earned rewards.
The roam-like benefit is a benefit unique only to this card.
It is accepted at nearly all locations as it's a Mastercard.

Pros

Cash Back Rewards: Earn up to 2% cash back on purchases.
Low Balance Transfer Rate: Benefit from a 2.99% rate on balance transfers for the first 6 months.
No Welcome Bonus: No initial sign-up bonus, keeping things straightforward.

Cons

No real insurance coverage (only balance protection), not even purchase protection or extended warranty which are pretty standard benefits for almost all credit cards.
Low rewards multiplier if you don't have an eligible Rogers, Shaw, or Fido service.

Cons

Limited Insurance Coverage: Only basic insurance is included.
Annual Rewards Payout: Cash back rewards are paid out once a year as a statement credit.
